There’s something so special about photographing a wedding that feels completely, authentically them. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding day at Magnolia Plantation was one of those days – full of laughter, meaning, and so much love. These two made the trip from Charlotte to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family, friends, and their sweet pup, Norman – who, of course, played an important role in the day. I mean, every good love story needs a loyal sidekick!
Hannah and Ashley have a quiet kind of connection that’s beautiful to witness. There’s a deep sense of respect and ease between them – the kind that only comes from two people who truly get each other. Their wedding day reflected that perfectly: heartfelt vows, intentional details, and a celebration that felt true to who they are as a couple. Magnolia Plantation provided the dreamiest backdrop with the live oaks, blooming gardens, and golden light that Charleston is known for. But what really stood out wasn’t the setting – it was the joy. Every look, every laugh, every tear… it all spoke to the strength of their love and the excitement of finally being able to call each other wife.
As a photographer, I’m always honored to tell stories like theirs. Ashley and Hannah’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful in the visual sense (though it absolutely was); it was beautiful because it was real. It’s hard to believe that this was my very first same-sex wedding in Charleston, even though I’ve been in the industry for 14 years. I hope this was the first of many because I am truly, wholeheartedly believe that love is love. Congratulations, Ashley and Hannah! It was such a joy to capture this incredible day for you both (and Norman, too!)

Some wedding days are beautiful. Others are joyful. And then there are the rare ones that feel like joy in motion – the kind you can feel in every frame, every laugh, every stolen glance.

For Jennie, Sea Pines has never been just a wedding destination – it’s home. Long before this day, she spent summers working in Harbour Town, learning its rhythms, its light, and the way life slows down just enough on Hilton Head Island. So when it came time to choose where she and Greg would get […]
